Discipline Summaries
January 17, 2014 JEFFREY A. FISHKIN [#213021], 39, of Santa Clarita was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on two years’ probation with an actual 90-day suspension and ordered to take the MPRE and comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. The order took effect Jan. 17, 2014. Fishkin stipulated to misconduct in two client matters, both of which involved failures to return client files or participate in State Bar disciplinary investigations. In one of the matters, Fishkin was hired in 2010 to represent a woman in a libel suit. Although Fishkin performed some services on the client’s behalf, beginning in November 2011 he did not respond to numerous phone messages the client left for him asking about the status of her case. Fishkin also did not tell the woman that opposing counsel had filed a motion to compel her deposition and a request for sanctions, both of which the court ultimately denied. In February 2012, Fishkin’s phone and fax number were disconnected, and the client hired a new lawyer who tried repeatedly to contact Fishkin to get the client’s files. Although Fishkin essentially withdrew from employment as the woman’s attorney, he did not inform her he was doing so and did not take steps to avoid reasonably foreseeable prejudice to the client.In the other matter, Fishkin failed to file a creditor’s claim on behalf of a client in a probate case and falsely represented in court that he had filed a motion for permission to file a late creditor’s claim in the probate case.In mitigation, Fishkin had no prior discipline in 10 years of practicing law and entered into a pretrial stipulation with the State Bar. |
